H&R vs. PSS9

Hey guys,
I am a new member and just wanted to say that 6speedonline kicks butt. It is a pleasure reading and learning about everybodys experiences. Because of it I appreciate my 02 C4S more.

Now to the real question: Which is a better coilover system? H&R or PSS9? I dont intend on tracking the car, and am really looking to improve the look with my stock wheels. I am thinking a 1.75" drop would look clean. Is that too low for coilovers? Thanks.

if u're looking for a 1.75'' drop go with the H&R.

KWV3s go lower than PSS9s. H&Rs are stiff

Don't know much about the h&r, but with the pss9's you can change the height as well as the ride... after i first got my suspension, I eventially went lower and stiffer cause I wanted to refine what I started with... all the work was done at lucent also...

Had H&R on my C4S and the ride was a bit stiff but precise... PSS9's ride is very smooth but based on my experience, it doesn't go that low. Had to trade my PSS9 with JIC...

Depends on what you want.. Looks or Comfort... I went for looks...

I took the car out today, with the pss9...lost another front spoiler. Pss9 are low enough in my book. I saw the railroad tracks but didnt slow down enough in time.
I think you have to look at it from the ground to the wheel well. I think pss9 are typ in the 25.25"-25.75" area. Mine is at 25.25 front and im loosing front chin spoilers.
